Erik's Love of Letters
Now at just over two, my son, Erik, is in love with letters.
He's tracing the letters on the side of the train car we rode at Train Town in Sonoma. I think he liked the sign more than the train ride!
Some things I'm learning from him:
Z is N
W is M
3 is M and sometimes E
8 is B
Every F should transform into an E
Every C should transform into an E
When you pronounce "R" it needs to really sound like a pirate, "AAAAAARRRRRR!"
Stuffed Felt Letters
Another person on Etsy if offering stuffed felt letters. I want to make my own, but first I have to select which font. Maybe something squishy like Cooper Black!
Knitted Letters
Stumbled across knitted letters when browsing around Etsy.

Mother of Pearl Letters
A coupla more letters that James cut to inlay into a bass guitar fingerboard:
The letters are about .625 inches high and hand cut from a slab of mother of pearl with a jeweler's saw.
